A: The flywheel is an energy storage device, not a link in the chain of parts which transfers energy from combustion into foward movement.
2: I didn't feel like typing all the pieces beyond the transmission/transaxle/jackshaft pulley as this could vary, not to mention there is one heck of a lot of part just getting through a tranmission, input shaft, pinion gear, bevel gear, (did I get those backwards?) shaft, gear, another gear, shaft, srocket, chain, sprocket, axle, hub, wheel, tire. For a jackshaft/transaxle setup there are even more, would you like me to type them all out? LOL
I assumed we could agree that no parts of the transmission/transaxle/jackshaft were inside the engine. Guess I assumed wrong.
III) What was the original question again?
Dale, heading up the to race shop, have a situatoin of the mower deck being 1/4" low, even though the frame is 1/2" high. We all know what sticklers those tech guys are. :twisted:
